Concerts | U2 announces July 1 show

Exactly 30 years ago this fall, U2 (with Bono’s arm in a sling from a previous fall) rolled into Northeast Ohio touring its career-defining album “The Joshua Tree.” Now the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee act has announced a special summer tour celebrating the release. The band plans on playing the album in its entirety when it returns to Cleveland for a July 1 show at FirstEnergy Stadium. Tickets, $35 to $280, go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 17 through Ticketmaster.

• More than two decades after he opened Quicken Loans Arena (then Gund Arena), Billy Joel returns to Northeast Ohio for a stadium show July 14 at Progressive Field. Tickets to see the “Piano Man,” who has sold more than 150 million albums, are $49.50 to $139.50 and are now on sale at Indians.com/billyjoel.

• Aside from its recent induction into the Rock Hall and a small club show for diehard fans, Green Day hasn’t played a Cleveland date in more than a decade. That changes when the group brings its “Revolution Radio” tour to Northeast Ohio. You can see the “American Idiot” act Aug. 21 at Blossom Music Center. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through all Ticketmaster locations.

• When Frank Caliendo isn’t touring the nation or appearing on ESPN, he often can be found at his Avon Lake home. The funnyman is known for his hilarious impressions of famous actors (like Al Pacino, Robin Williams, Robert DeNiro), politicians (George W. Bush, Bill Clinton) and broadcasters (John Madden, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jim Rome). Caliendo returns to Northeast Ohio this winter for a Feb. 24 show at the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park. Tickets are $42 to $72, and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations.

• After a few years out of the spotlight, The xx returned late last year with a memorable “Saturday Night Live” appearance. The U.K. band also announced it would be releasing its third studio album “I See You.” Now the indie act is coming stateside including a May 3 show at the Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica. Tickets are $29.50 to $45, and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations.

• Fans who can’t wait for Metallica’s upcoming Rock on the Range show in Columbus may want to check out cover band The Four Horsemen – Tribute to Metallica when the outfit returns to the Rock Hall City Feb. 11 at the House of Blues. Tickets are $12.

• You better believe a band named Whiskey Myers plays southern rock. The Texas group’s latest album “Mud” was recorded with Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Country Charts. The band makes its way to the Buckeye State for an April 13 show at the House of Blues. Tickets are $13. Tickets to these House of Blues shows are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations.

• Northeast Ohio’s own guitar wizard Neil Zaza has announced a Rubber City date celebrating his latest effort “Peach.” An Evening with Neil Zaza takes place Feb. 3 at the Akron Civic Theatre. Tickets to the cabaret-style show are $25, and are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations.
